Phys.org / The dual self-assembly network: A new chapter in 3D-printable hydrogels
In the world of advanced materials, the ultimate goal is to create a substance that possesses the adaptability of biological tissue: it must be strong enough to maintain its shape, yet fluid enough to be molded. The research ...
Medical Xpress / About 80% of breast cancer biopsies turn out benign. New imaging tool promises clearer diagnoses and fewer biopsies
Ultrasound is widely used in breast cancer diagnosis. While it can effectively show that a lump is filled with fluid—indicating it is unlikely to be cancer—it cannot reliably determine whether a solid mass is benign or cancerous. ...
Phys.org / Giant step for humankind: Artemis crew to set space distance record
Four Artemis II astronauts are taking a giant step for humankind Monday when they shoot deeper into space than anyone before and glimpse parts of the moon never seen by the naked eye.
Medical Xpress / Electroacupuncture may ease 'brain fog' in breast cancer survivors, small trial finds
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have found that electroacupuncture may help improve cognitive function and reduce psychological distress among breast cancer survivors experiencing persistent neuropsychiatric ...
Phys.org / Should wildlife parks be fenced? We studied 60 African examples for an answer
Fences are among conservation's most controversial interventions. To some, they are essential for conserving wildlife, minimizing encroachment, and preventing the type of conflict that happens when humans come into contact ...
Phys.org / New insights into hornification could strengthen the future of paper production
When paper dries and is subsequently rewetted, its properties change permanently. This phenomenon is known as hornification. New research now shows that the process is more complex than previously assumed, and that temperature, ...
Medical Xpress / How one 'forever chemical' can disrupt a baby's facial development
Researchers have long associated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," with certain severe birth defects, but exactly how these pollutants harm a developing fetus has remained ...
Phys.org / Quantum coherence could be preserved at large scales in realistic environments
Quantum states are notoriously fragile, and can be destroyed simply through interactions, measurements, and exposure to their surrounding environments. In a new theoretical study published in Physical Review X, Rohan Mittal ...
Phys.org / Unexplained sky flashes from the 1950s: Independent analysis supports their existence
Historical observations from an observatory in Germany have now independently verified evidence for brief, mysterious flashes of light in the night sky, first picked up by an American astronomical survey in the 1950s. Through ...
Phys.org / An aerobot with ISRU capabilities could explore Venus' atmosphere for years
In Dante's "Divine Comedy," Hell is described as an "inferno" with nine concentric circles, the entrance of which has a sign that reads "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." For the planets of the solar system, Venus is ...
Phys.org / Looking up? How to photograph the moon with your phone
Eyes are on the sky this week as four astronauts get the closest humans have been to the moon for more than 50 years on NASA's Artemis II mission. Join the millions of people looking up while it's on its way and we'll show ...
Medical Xpress / Data platform unifies blood cancer 'omics' and clinical data to accelerate discovery
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the American Society for Hematology (ASH) and the Munich Leukemia Laboratory have developed a data-sharing platform that unites genomics, gene expression and clinical information ...
